Motivational & Inspirational Places

I’ve decided to compile a list of what I think are some of the most motivational and inspirational places for anybody who wants to change their life. I have not visited all of these places but they motivate me to achieve a lifestyle that allows me to easily travel.

These are in no particular order.

Biltmore Estate - with 250 rooms and at 175,000 square feet it is America’s largest home. It was built for George Washington Vanderbilt II. For entrepreneurs and those in the business world this displays what type of rewards you can treat yourself to for your hard work.

Ellis Island - for most Americans this is the first place that their ancestors ever saw when coming to America. They didn’t know what the future was going to bring except that they had an opportunity to change their lives.

Dubai - so many spectacular buildings and structures stand in Dubai. This city shows that imagination is truly more important than knowledge as Albert Einstein said. I’m sure many of the engineers and designers had visions of what certain structures were going to look like but weren’t sure how it was going to be created.

The Great Pyramids - this is an obvious one. Incredible to think that these were built without the use of machines, computers, or advanced tools, and in the desert!

The Great Wall of China - equally as stunning as the Egyptian pyramids.

Earth - you can look everywhere to find inspiration and motivation. It all depends on how you view things. Some people may walk through a park just to get exercise while others take the time to look at the environment around them and admire each little detail.

What places give you inspiration or motivation? Have you visited a best keep secret that you’d like to share? Post a comment.

Quote of the day

I hope to post a quote everyday on this blog, some quotes you may have heard of, and others may be new to you.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover” - Mark Twain

What is your take on this? How do you interpret it? Feel free to leave a comment on your thoughts.
